The visit of the lord of the Ballet clan did not surprise Xiao Yan.

In fact, her first target for entering the Oghuz Khanate was this lord.

However, when she met the lord in the outer reception room, her attitude was cold and silent, giving people a sense of indifference and arrogance, and there was a vague dislike for the Lord, except for an indifferent and egalitarian and slightly respectful attitude towards the Latter-day Saints of the Breel.

This cold and arrogant attitude did not annoy the lord of the Ballet clan, and although the sage did not seem to treat him very well, which was a little confusing, his attitude was still sincere and warm, and he did not lose measure.

Contrary to his attitude, this Sage has a respectful attitude towards the Latter-day Sage of his family, which shows that this is a true martial artist. That's certainly a good thing for them. At least, if you want to make friends with this sage, you don't need too many eyes, as long as your uncle comes out, you can also find out, if he has offended this sage?

After expressing his warm welcome to the Sage's entry into the Tucker Realm, Lord Baret took his leave.

The two saints exchanged martial arts in the reception room.

Xiao Yan said every sentence very shortly, giving people a sense of hardship that he had not spoken for a long time. Balietu naturally thought that she was practicing penance in the ice field, and she didn't communicate with people much, plus she was a taciturn person, speaking slowly and with few words, which was normal. Such a sage made him a little less wary in his heart. After all, there are many conspiracy between sages, and this kind of martial arts focused interaction is more reassuring than that of sages who are more shrewd and calculating.

Balietu felt that the aura on her body was still a little faintly fluctuating, and it should be that she had not completely stabilized after the middle stage of the advanced stage. This surprised him, it stands to reason that she should have stabilized the realm in the ascetic ground of the Lingbei Ice Plain before coming out - is there something urgent? Or is it an urgent call from the Buliu Lonely Family?

Batletto made a secret note of this in his mind.

Because it was the first time they met, and Xiao Yan's indifferent and reticent nature, the communication between the two sages did not last too long, and in less than half an hour, Balietu left the inn.

The luxurious carriage guarded by the cavalry was still parked on the street, and one of the cavalrymen opened the side car door, and Ba Litu got into the carriage, and then cast a true qi barrier to isolate the conversation. Lord Ballet asked, "What do you think, uncle?" ”

"She's young."

"Although it is not convenient to detect bone age, it will not exceed thirty-five years old. ”

This is the feeling between the saints, whether they are young at their own age, or whether they become younger after advancement, this feeling is different.

The lord of Baillie was overjoyed when he heard this.

Less than thirty-five years old is the middle stage of the Sage, and it must be the one who will be promoted to the Sage before the age of thirty! - Sure enough, it's a genius of Buliu's lonely family!

But he said, "There are doubts. ”

Lord Balie was taken aback, "What's the suspicion?" "Is it identity? My heart sank suddenly.

Baletu glared at him, "Don't think about it. Before she could stabilize in the middle of her advancement, she hurried out of the ice field, which was unusual, especially for an ascetic martial artist. Unless, unless, there is something so important that she has to leave immediately. ”

…… Crucial and having to leave?

Lord Balie's eyes flashed, and he immediately thought of the order sent by Khan Jing, and said after a moment's silence: "You mean, this is the summons of the family...... And, maybe it has something to do with the call order issued by the Great Khan this time? ”

Bagletu nodded slowly, "It should be so." Otherwise, at the speed of the Sage, if there is really something urgent, why bother with the merchant group? - is not in keeping with this withdrawn character. Unless, all the way north, I also brought the task of taking a look. ”

Glance? What to see?

From the Lingbei Ice Sheet to the north of Khanjing, you have to pass through four territories, including the Tucker Territory, this "take a look", isn't it just a look? …… Whether this was the order of the new Great Khan, or the meaning of Buliu's solitude, it was an opportunity for them.

The corners of Balettu's mouth twitched again, as if there was something amused, "Although this is a drudgery ......."

Lord Balel laughed too.

With this person's temperament, it is indeed not a pleasure to let her do such a task.

No wonder he didn't like him.

The lord of Balie was relieved.

***

Four days later, the 30,000 Tucker Regiment marched north.

Without surprising his uncle and nephew, after the lord of Bulje personally visited and sincerely extended an invitation to go to Beijing together, the sage immediately agreed, and the contract of the Surgu merchant group was terminated, and he became one of the sages accompanying the Tucker Legion. Of course, this is temporary, and once you arrive in Beijing, this employment contract will not exist. Of course, the lord of Balie didn't think about keeping this sage, and Xiao Yan's simple attitude was even more sure that this sage was on a mission. On the other hand, the Surgu business group received the dismissal and apology from the Balie family, after all, the background of the Surgu Chamber of Commerce should not be underestimated, of course, the business group did not want to keep the sage of the Buliu lonely family, but just wanted to have a friendship, since the sage chose to follow the army, of course, he happily terminated the contract, and there was no resentment.

Xiao Yan changed to a war horse of the Tucker Legion, which was one of the three famous war horses of Oghuz, the Tahippo. She also rode a fine horse when she was in the Surgu merchant group, and was listed as an Arlese horse of noble horse blood, but the best Arles horse was not as good as the Tahe hippo ridden by an ordinary cavalry of the Tucker Legion, which was very normal in the Oghuz Khanate - the best war horses could only be given to the army, even if the Great Khan Xià, if it was not for parades or on the battlefield, the best war horses could not be ridden.

This system was strictly observed and enforced, and the sense of honor of the Oghuz army was passed down from generation to generation. Xiao Yan's presence in the Tucker Legion, even if it was a legion in such a remote territory, made her feel the soldier's spirit of honor. Compared with the pride of the Tang army as the most powerful army under the most powerful empire/command, the Oghuz army has more perseverance to fight against the harsh environment.

The Tucker Legion, like the other legions of Oghuz, was all cavalry, except for logistical servants. When Gao's Northern Zhou was driven out of the Great Wall and Daqing Mountain by the Tang army, he resolutely abandoned Sinicization and returned to the "nation on horseback". There is a battalion of 1,000 female soldiers in the Tucker Legion, and everyone is fierce and not inferior to the male soldiers.

…… It is a fighting people.

Xiao Yan thought to himself.

She did take a "look" mission, and the purpose was of course very different from what the Bagret family had in mind—they would shudder when they found out.

Li Yuzhen said that the Oghuz Khanate is not the strongest enemy of the Tang Dynasty, nor is it the country with the most grandmaster-level powerhouses, but it must be the country with the highest per capita combat effectiveness. A fighting nation where all the people are soldiers. All adult men and women are ready to be drafted into battle at any time, and a six-year-old child can stab you - this is the experience of the Tang army when it reaches the Tucker Territory during the time of Gaozong. Fighting to the death with such a country, even if Datang is so powerful, it will be a headache.

Such a country will either cooperate or completely knock it down.

Although the Jing'an Division has not slackened off for many years, using all kinds of spies to collect and analyze the intelligence of all foreign countries, including the Oghuz Khanate, summarizing, collating, and providing the latest national situation report to His Majesty the Emperor - no matter how detailed it is, after all, it is the perspective of the Jing'an Division's spies, although comprehensive, but lacking a depth. At least in Li Yuzhen's opinion, this depth is not enough.

Therefore, Xiao Yan's important task in Oghuz is to become Li Yuzhen's eyes, take a look at this empire, and take a look at the people of this empire.

Her gaze looked past the Tucker Legion, which remained neat even in galloping, to the far northwest.

The farthest northwestern frontier, the northwest territory bordering the Yan Zhou Empire, is the territory of the Gesol Heights, the territory of the Grand Duke of Gesol.

It is also the territory of Qianshan's mother, Ninglouqiu.

The fourth heir to the throne should no longer be in Gesol Heights......

Although Jing'anji's intelligence showed that the blonde-haired and gray-eyed female Grand Duke still went out of the city to inspect her territory every morning, the information she saw was often deceiving.

…… Ninglou Hill should already be not far from Shangjing.
